Very common gets worse in cold weather. I take them out pull back the
logo over the
 berring and put a couple of drops of sewing machine oil on the bronz
berring. Try not
to get the oil on the plastic where the logo glues back down, or use
tape in place of the
logo. It will quiet them right down, some times as long as a year..
